We have investigated the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) by novel functional human thyroid cell lines (designated SGHTL). ICAM-1 is constitutively expressed and it is rapidly upregulated in response to each of the recombinant cytokines: gamma-interferon, interleukin-1 and tumour necrosis factor. This contrasts with the more slowly increased expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II antigens in response to gamma-interferon alone. We have also demonstrated binding of activated lymphocytes to SGHTL cells: this interaction is increased following treatment with these cytokines and is inhibited by monoclonal antibodies directed against ICAM-1 or lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) but not by antibodies against CD2 or MHC class II antigens. Hence, we conclude that the binding of lymphoblasts to human thyroid cells involves an LFA-1- and ICAM-1-dependent pathway as well as other basal and cytokine-inducible pathway(s). These do not appear to involve MHC class II antigens, CD2 or an LFA-1 ligand other than ICAM-1.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES. Interferon Type II,Interferon, Immune,gamma-Interferon,Interferon, gamma,Type II Interferon,Immune Interferon,Interferon, Type II
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell
